BloodStorm Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 This entry is based off an old rpg character of mine, and just screams at me to be entered into the contest. http://img42.exs.cx/img42/6198/RabidArtcoloured.jpg Pencils done by GuyverXenon. Colors done by gall_4185. Image is old, and shows what rabid looked like before being enhanced as a lychanlord.. After the processing, several features change in a few ways, but this is still a reliable base image.. and I'm attempting to draw the new rabid myself. Subject: Hulking Man-beast Guyver-Bonded Lychanlord Codename: Rabid Age:Unknown. Hair: None. Eyes: None. Sockets are devoid of eyes and continually drool black ichor that sinks down the subject's face in a mockery of tears. Race: Vampiric Mutant with Lychanlord DNA. Height. 12 feet at the shoulder hunched over and walking on all fours. Can reach 17 feet in height reared up on hind legs. Weight: 2.3 metric tons. Status: Remorseless Attack Hound. Description: Subject is a haunched over behemoth, walking on all four limbs in an animalistic gait. Pale armor with green organism beneath leads to an overall sickly appearance, but Rabid is quite robust. The head of the subject appears normal at first glance, but where the breathers would be located on most units is instead a series of prestine ivory spikes that encircle a small maw, three pink tongue like protrusion flicker and twitch, tasting the air around it. Subject has no eyes either, instead it has hollow pits that extend an inch and a half into the skull, these pits drool black ichor, but the subject does not seem to be impared by it's lack of conventional sight. Subject's sensory orbs are located on the side of it's head and travel in a back-to-forth fasion.. and it's head-spike appears brittal and twisted. Arms are thick and muscular, ending in great taloned hands with long barbed hooks protruding from each knuckle for tearing and maiming of prey. Subject's chest is an enigma, instead of smasher cells, the chestplate is accually a hinged jaw that swings forward to reveal rows and rows of terrrible teeth that can sheer through most known materials with ease. When the maw is open, the three tongues has a much greater degree of movement, and can jet out to ensnare foes.. 8-inch long barbs dot all three tongues, each barb hallow and used to drain foes of thier liquids before being dragged inwards into the maw and devoured. The tongues are much stronger than they appear, and are resistantant to any attempt to sheer them off of a bound foe. No attempt to poison or destroy rabid from the inside has ever succeded. Creatures drug into Rabid's maw are either dispatched with a bite that severes the control areas of the foe from the rest of the body, most commonly the head in most creatures.. then the remains are thrown aside..If there are few foes preasent or rabid is heavily wounded, Rabid will occasionally devour it's target in several great bites. Foes consumed this way are swiftly digested, Rabid's metabolism allows it to consume most oragnic and even some inorganic materials in seconds.. the nutriants gathered this way serve to hyper accelerate Rabid's regeneration on the feild. Moving down the body, Rabid's waist sports two gravity control spheres that work in symbiosis to provide a much more efficiant link to the boost dimention than normal.. and this has been enhanced even further upon being imbued as a master lychanlord. making these orbs more potent than most foes would give them credit for. Rabid's legs are dentigrade in nauture, his feet are much longer than most creatures, walking entirely on the ball of his feet, Rabid's ankles are closer in function to a second set of knees per leg. Rabid's tail extends a good 12 feet behind him and ends in a pair of long serrated blades that can scissor togeather to saw foes in half. Bio: Found on a desolate planet devoid of all other life, Rabid was slow and lethargic untill he was roused by a lycanlord legion that was attempting to bring what they thought was a corpse in to be used for whatever purpose Anubis would have instore for it.. Instead, they awoke Rabid's hunger. Rabid assaulted and consumed the entire legion before they knew what happened. Finally, through overwhelming numbers, Rabid was eventually subdued and presented to Anubis. Fascenated in the creature's tenacity.. and how much it acted like a lychanlord allready, Anubis decided to give the creature true lychanlord dna.. making it a formidable attack hound, loyal only to it's master.. Delighting in the thrill of the hunt and the unbridled slaughter of anything it can get it's hands on. Rabid will not actively kill another of Anubis's warriors.. but will not hesitate to consume an allready dead warrior if it needs a regeneration boost. Rabid is feircly intelligent.. but is ruled by hunger. He rarely speaks in battle, letting his feirce weapons let his intent known instead of his words. He is cunning and clever, and no one outside the inner circle of anubis suspects he is anything more than a beast who's only desire is to kill. Rabid has never had a human form.. Once it bonded to it's guyver ages ago, it lost the ability to resume it's natural form.. Therefore, Rabid is always in it's current state. Present estimates Of the subject's abilities are as follows. Strength: Rabid has always been immensly strong, After being inducted into the army of anubis and hand crafted by the red dragon himself into a killing machine, Rabid's physical power is that of 4000 men.. and can temporarily reach strength even higher than this when consumed by bloodlust. Each of Rabid's tongues is rated at 3000 men in power, making them formidably strong as well. Durability: Rabid's durability is also impressive, able to compleatly ignore anything below a gigantic guyver's single hypersmash attack. Combined with a blast sheild that can be called upon at will, Rabid's defensive measures are truely difficult to overcome by all but the most determined foe. Regeneration: Rabid's regeneration is typically 20 times that of a guyver.. but can spike this rate by consuming organic materials.. A human sized foe (most guyvers fit this range) provided enough nutriants to nearly compleatly restore Rabid unless he's suffering from increadable damage. For comparison's sake, rabid's maximum regenerative potential is 1000 times a regular guyver.. but he can only reach this level with a contant supply of bodies. However, in combat.. bodies are typically easy to come by. Stanima: Due to it's unique dual-core gravity syphon system, along with a modified hyperspace link, Rabid has near unlimited stanima.Rabid can suppliment this even further by consuming prey. Lack of food for prolonged periods will make Rabid sullen and snappish.. So Anubis occasionally starves him before sending him after someone inportant in order to make him more aggresive. Hyper Senses: Rabid is technically blind, but his sence of smell is advanced enough that it can pinpoint foes effortlessly within 10 miles.. and with the guyver sensory orbs, it can function just fine without conventional sight. Hyper sensors range to 40 miles.. and allow rabid to track down foes with disturbing ease. Rabid's sence of smell if enough to even ditect traces of foes out of synch with normal space, such as foes phased to avoid attack, and can even sniff out targets masked to all other sences. Speed: Being a preditor, Rabid relies on speed almost as much as sheer power. Reflex and agility are close to 50 times normal for a guyver.. and the subject can sprint at 8000 miles an hour with little trouble. Rabid is capable of flight, reaching 20000miles an hour in speed.. but prefers great leaps to get from one area to another across the battlefeild. Tongues: Rabid possesses three tongues, each one can extend upwards of 30 feet in length. and are lined with hollow barbs that allow him to drink the fluids from his victems. One tongue can compleatly drain a human sized foe within five seconds. Larger foes can be ensnared by more tongues to drain them faster. At the tip of each tongue is a 4 pronged 'hand' that while clumsy, is strong enough to latch into bioflesh and serve as an anchor to wrapp the tongue's length around a foe. These fingers also of the right size to make lightning quick jabs at the control medalions of problem foes to incapacitate them if nessisary by removing thier control devices. Laser orbs: Rabid's control medalion is encircled by four laser orbs arranged in a daimond pattern. The top orb is rated at 30 times as strong as a normal laser orb, and the other three are each half of that power. Rabid technically used these less as weapons and more as a detterant to keep people from getting too close to his control medalion. Dummy medalion: Rabid's C-medal is accually a decoy.. the one displayed resembled a control medalion in all respects, and even behaves as one.. but it is not linked into his brain. His real medalion is located on the inside of his skull, surrounded in protective tissue . Sonic weapon: Rabid possesses no sonics as a normal unit would sport.. but instead can emit an earth shattering howl that expands from his body in an omni dirrectional wave. While lacking some of the more refined abilities of a standard sonic orb, this weapon is rated on the gigasmasher scale in terms of damage. Gravity orbs: As described allready, rabid's dual gravity orbs function symbiotically to each other.. making each one more powerfull than they would be otherwise. Combat effectiveness is rated at 30 times that of a guyver.. and Rabid is even capable of using refined controll to make 'funnels' of sorts.. balls of gravity that orbit rabid untill ordered to attack. Once triggered, these funnels rush towards their target, even moving around obsticals as needed to strike. Each orb can controll one funnel at no loss to functionality. Blood Lust: When wounded below 70% efficiancy, Rabid enters a state of rage where his physical strength and regeneration rate jumps 50%, and he grows increasingly agressive as the battle goes on. If Rabid is reduced to 40 percent effectiveness, his physcial power doublles to 8000men, his regneration rate doubles as well, and he can then unlease his ultimate attack (see below) Bloodlust doesn't dissapeer when rabid recovers from wounds.. the only way to calm Rabid from Bloodlust is for him to run out of things to kill, or somehow drive him off.. Dispite the nature of this state, Rabid retains full controll of his mental facilties, and can not be lead around in a state of rage as several other beings who have similer abilities. Vampiric Virus: Rabid has a virus in his blood that is akin to vampirsm.. and can intentionally infect others in order to make them his puppets.. he can use this on downed allies in order to put them back into the fight. Unlike true vampirism, Rabid does not fear the sun, or any holy symbols, nor will garlic drive him off (he's accually quite fond of the taste). Running water poses no problems either. Also, creature's infected this way has a finite lifespan.. once 5 minutes have passed, the creature infected begins to break down at the cellular level into a puddle of ooze that doesn't even retain enough nutriants for interest rabid. This virus is transmitted by the 'nails' in each finger of rabid's tongues.. but it's a concious decision to infect someone.. and more oftain than not rabid doesn't use this ability unless to sew fear into an allready demoralised enamy unit by driving thier allies against them. Ultimate attack: Cloak of Thorns. When in severe bloodlust, Rabid sprouts a cloak from his back that resembles a thick black cape made of fine threads. Each thread is accually a monomolecular whip that can be manipulated at will. Rabid will surround himself in a whistleing web of lashing tendrils that neatly slices through anything within a 40 foot radias. Also.. as the whips travel through the air, they gather up ambient light and static electricity in the area.. making his surroundings a dark pit .. Once enough power is gathered.. Rabid can emit a hellish beam or energy from his maw similer in nature to a smasher attack. This attack as base level is 10 times a gigantic's single hyper smasher, but at full power can reach 40x a gigantic's full double hypersmash. In a well lit environment, it takes 10 seconds to charge enough power for one beam.. but a full power blast takes a full minute to charge up. I'll post a better picture of his current state when I get one done. This is my first entry. I will submit another one in a couple more days. Quote
Spartan Warlord Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Nice concept...highly unique...I like the idea with the eyes that ooze and he relies on his smell a lot more like a true predator would...I'm looking forward to reading the fic... Quote
jedi-guyver Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Yes I agree. I definitately like the concept. With a little fine tuning this could become a monster of a character in the GWOTG universe Quote
Spartan Warlord Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Yeah...you try to kill it and instead double its powers is a lot better than warrior rage as well because he doesn't go into a blind fury...even if the character doesn't get used the bloodlust may have a use in GWOTG...it's a handy skill. Quote
Tyranthrax Posted May 17, 2007 Posted May 17, 2007 Yeah...you try to kill it and instead double its powers is a lot better than warrior rage as well because he doesn't go into a blind fury...even if the character doesn't get used the bloodlust may have a use in GWOTG...it's a handy skill. Actually, if I remember correctly, the W'Kar converts the chemical energy related to rage into more Bio/Hyper-Kinetic Energy, enhancing his overall power level without making him go into a blind fury. It's kinda like, "I'm angr.. No I'm not. I'm just a good deal stronger." -Slays his foes.- Quote
BloodStorm Posted May 25, 2007 Author Posted May 25, 2007 Birth of Rabid In ages past, in a universe long forgotten by the few who even knew it was there in the first place... humanity had risen in pretty much the same way it did as we know it.. Atleast on the surface. However.. Super natural horrors stalked the night.. mankid lived in fear of more than just zoanoid.. but of things much worse. Things that shared some of a zoanoid's powers.. but impossable to be controlled. Vampires, Werewolves, demons from the very pits of hell. Were these also by-products of creator manipulation? Were they supernatural as many had claimed? A mixture of both? The answer to these questions will never be spoken.. one being from this universe yet remains.. a being who's hunger puts the very lychanlord legions to shame with it's intensity.. it's lust for consumption, for destruction.. for death. This being.. is known as Rabid. Rabid began life as a simple manbeast.. a mutant cousin to the human species.. standing 8 feet tall and covered in thick fur, these manbeasts were more like true apes than humanity.. but in behavior.. they were more like wolves. Every member of the tribe had a duty, and they all coopperated to bring down difficult prey. The strongest and smartest of these manbeasts were undoubtable the pack alphas.. Rabid.. was no alpha.. Rabid, before his change.. was slow.. even dimwitted. Content to just laze about in the sun, lazily picking berries from nearby trees. At this point, he had no name.. the pack didn't need names, as they went by scent. One day, while off by himself, the manbeast who would later become rabid encountered two humans wearing white coats. Confused by these two.. they didn't smell human.. but they didnt' smell like a wolve or a vampire either.. and they weren't demons.. Not the ussuall kind anyway. The two humans were chronos researchers, aqquireing supernatural test subjects to see if they could be controlled if processed into zoanoids. Rabid approached too closely out of curiosity, and the two men noticed him. One of them raised a long metal rod and pointed it his way. Rabid heard a loud crack.. and there was suddenly a pain in his shoulder. Looking down, he found a metal dart peircing his skin. He had just enough time to pluck it out and stare at it, never having seen anything like it in his life, before he fell victem to the powerfull tranqulisers within. Hours later, Rabid awoke, tied to an examination table. The first thing that rabid discovered was that it couldn't see.. the scientists who captured him didn't realise that the tranquliser would have a toxic effect on the poor creature.. blinding him perminately.. Rabid howled in a mixture of rage and fear.. but since he didn't speak the language of the scientists, they didn't know what exactly troubled the beast. Rabid could smell three people in the room, two of them were the scientists who captured him, the third.. was new.. the scent powerfull, rabid was instantly wary of this figure, every instinct told him that the third person could easily destroy him.. Suddenly the men began to talk.. Rabid didn't understand it.. but the situation went something like this. "He's awake" "Yes, so he is.. I suppose he will have to do, since you didn't get a proper vampire for study.. luckily, I have managed to synthisise the viral patterns that make humans into vampires.. if my theory is correct, this pattern would turn a normal man into something that could destroy even a hyper zoanoid.. this pitifull beast is close enough to a man that it should work on him in similer fasions.. or it could just kill him." The third mad said. "Doctor Yamamoto.. if your right, he'ld very easily be able to break those bonds and kill us all" Scientists two said nerviously as the third person stepped forward and injected something into rabid's arm. "That's exactly why I'm doing this" The third figure chuckled darkly. "Traitor" the other two scientists gasped in astonishment, then began to transform, thier scents changing dramatically. The third figure just looked at them, his eyes glowing for a moment before the two were flung against the far wall, scattering test tubes and beakers in the process, reverting back to humanoid forms. "You'll get your turn soon enough.. but for now, I have work to do" Yamamoto pulled something out of his labcoat. Rabid couldn't tell what it was.. he had never smelled it before in his life, even if he did know what it was, the pain shooting through his body as his dna was rewritten from the vampire virus was driving him wild in pain. "You will be my Rabid hound, let loose upon this world to destroy chronos and the supernaturals alike.. no one will be able to stop you, not even myself" Yamamoto held the relic in his hands.. the casing was worn and beaten, but the organism underneith seemed to be secure.. and there was no obvious damage to the control medalion.. Yamamoto gave a slow, purposefull laugh as he placed the unit over rabid's head.. the unit instinctually activating, tendrils pushing free of the casing to attack rabid's body. Rabid howled as this new something surrounded him, making it hard to breath.. Something tearing him apart from the inside.. something forcing it's way inside from the out.. even if rabid had the ability to describe the pain, the sheer level of torture he felt was beyond even masters of the art.. ever fibre of his being was on fire as the guyver fought the vampire virus for supremacy. After a struggle that felt like hours, but lasted mearly a minute and a half, the two came to a compromise.. sharing the host.. becoming one being. What little mind Rabid could be said to have at this point snapped... Yamamoto stood there, watching the entire spectical. Rabid had snapped free of the restraints within seconds, but due to being wracked with the ungodly pain, couldn't lash out at anything. The tendrils began to band togeather and form plates.. Rabid's jaw began to streach out, breaking loose from it's traditional moreing and falling forward, taking his ribcage with it, yet his organs were held in place.. infact they were regressing, taking up less and less place in rabid's chest. The Ribcage began to spread out, becoming teeth for his new enhanced jaw, and his tongue began to lengthen to grotesque degrees. His head shrunk backwards slightly as the neck began to fuse, and ichor began to drool down it's face as it's useless eyes were ejected onto the floor, hissing as they bubbled away into nothing. Something locked itself to his forhead, and mercifully, rabid finally fell into unconsiousness as thin wires shot into his skull and into his brain. His changed didn't end there.. his body continues to twist.. limbs lenghtening, terrible blades, humming quietly with vibrational power yet to be utilised, erupted from each knuckle, ready to tear and rend anything that got within grasp. His legs kicked and spasmed against the floor, changing in structure from an ape's hind legs into a canine's.. with terrible feet more resembling a dinosaur's.. built for gouging and tearing as well. Rabid's tail, formerly a stubby thing,, began to extend as the spine lengthened in a great bloody explosion , spreading gore further over the floor, only to be regenerated back into the body moments later.. Muscle soon followed the tail, knitting and re-kniftting into a longer, thicker tail.. no skin formed over this new limb as organism tissue followed suit, then the thick armored plates.. and a long terrible blade on the tip. Yamamoto smirked in a cold calculating fashion as he looked back at the two scientists he had formerly worked with. "I hope your enjoying this as much as I am, gentlemen.. this creature is going to change the world... but you won't be around to see if.. I have other plans I have to compleat before the creature finds me again.. so I leave you gentlemen with him to welcome him to his knew life." Yamamoto laughed and transformed before them, his body that of a zoalord's.. descended from a hidden family of those left behind by the creators.. and then he teleported away, leaving the two frightened chronos scientists along in the room with a creature that was slowly, purposfully pushing itself to it's feet. Rabid suddenly woke again.. everything was differant.. things were sharper now.. and while he couldn't see.. he could still feel things around him, his head sensors flicking from side to side, taking in his surroundings, not missing a single detail. He took in three great wiffs of air into his new, enhanced sinus cavity. Each one telling him more than his old nose would ever be able to translate in a life time. He could smell food all around.. everywhere around.. and he suddenly became aware of a hunger.. an unquenchable, soul-deep hunger.. one there would be no fighting. He let loose a howl, his new jaw dropping to reveal a titanic maw big enough to force a whole human inside. Rabid approached the two men.. it's tongue shooting out of it's maw and speared through one man's shoulder and coming out the back. The man screamed as the tongue's increadable muscles began to coil around his body, and knife-like bards suddenly peirced him all over as they emerged from the tongue's flesh. He felt faint as his blood, his life giving fluid, began to pour from his body.. but not a drop hit the floor. It was all greedily sucked up through the hollow barbs, reducing the man to a whithered husk in moments. With a snap of his tongue, rabid hurled the man free from the muscle speared through his shoulder and into the air, where he bounded up and snapped his jaws down, catching the man at the waist and shoveling him into his maw with titanic mitts. The second man watched in horror.. two bites, and his partner was gone. That's all it took.. two bites.. Rabid turned on the second scientist, his hunger still demanding him to eat.. so eat he did.. he consumed the second scientist without much of a fight.. then began to work his way through the building, consuming everyone he could find.. and with his accute sences.. he found everyone.. not a single employee was left behind. Security put up a desperate fight.. but even the detachment of hyper zoanoids at the base were swiftly defeated by a cruel and terrible creature. As he pondered what to do next, he realised that somehow, his transformation had made him.. more aware.. But he didn't have much time to sit and explore his new conciousness.. the hunger was unrelenting.. and drove him to kill again. And again.. and again.. Within weeks.. Japan had been reduced to a wasteland.. once Rabid had devoured every living thing.. he discovered that plantlife was also fufilling to appease his great hunger.. but soon he ran out of that as well, devouring whole forests in days. His unique metabolism making it impossable to fill his every aching gut.. always wanting more. Rabid knew there was only one thing to do.. Already discovered the power of flight, Rabid flew to China, and began his relentless buffet of horror there as well. Eventually, the powers of the world began to realise something was terrible wrong, but neither the supernatural lords, nor chronos, were able to defeat the beast. As for Yamamoto? He was caught, and exicuted for treason against Chronos, before his plans could be compleated. No one knows what else he had in store.. as he refused to tell of his plans. Every living thing on earth was eventually eaten.. once everything was gone on the surface, Rabid dove into the ocean to devour everything under the seas as well. Once there was no more food on earth.. Rabid sat down and began to slumber, his body entering something akin to hybernation. There was nothing left to eat.. so the hunter had no purpose. Rabid never pondered lift beyond the stars.. so when the creators returned to earth, Rabid awoke, over joyed, that he would be able to hunt once more.. to be able to send prety animal after prey animal into his always hungry gullet. Eventually.. some alien species or another devised a plan to rid the universe of rabid.. create a gate to another existance.. and trap the terror there. The idea worked.. in a fasion.. As Rabid ate the people responcable for the idea, but the gate was compleated regardless.. and Rabid.. scenting things to eat on the other side.. walked through, unaware that it would never be returning to it's home universe. The gate had not been properly calibrated.. and it overloaded once Rabid passed through, tearing a hole in that universe's physics that it never recovered from.. and it died off, forgotten.. everyone who had hoped to be rid of Rabid forever found oblivion not at his jaws, but at the death of the entire universe. In his new home, Rabid devoured all life on the planet, turning a peicefull intelligent race into nothing but another memory.. their beautifull home planet into a barren rock in space. Finding no way off the planet, no ships to carry him to another world, Rabid eventually succumbed into another hybernation period.. and there he slept for a time untold.. untill a lychanlord detachment investigated the planet for signs of life after radio signals from thier dead civilization finally reached inhabited space.. and Anubis, filling a lust of his own, a lust for conquest.. decided to subjigate these lifeforms as well. The lychanlords were unable to find anything more than old ruins.. nothing substantial remained of the ancient civilization.. Other than a slowly awakening hunger inside Rabid, as he smelled the lychanlords approaching in his sleep. The rest, as they say.. is history. Quote
